Guys I'm torn. Do I buy a m&p 9mm or 10mm?
Ultimate goal for the gun is EDC.
Pros of the 9mm -Cheaper ammunition -Weighs less
Pros of the 10mm -Could hunt with it -Good enough for a bear it's good enough for other threats found in the woods or else where
Help me make up my mind. Thanks in advance.
Looks like just the upper receiver to me. The bolts holding the hood on to the dot, makes it look like it's bridged. One single bolt holds the 512 on.
I dont know if this question gets asked a lot, sorry if it does.
I am soon to be moving into a property with around 5 to 6 acres of FLAT land, with almost no woods.
I could position the "shooting range" to be where there is nothing behind it but farm land.
So my question is, how would I go about building a backstop that guarantees a bullet will not get through. If its even a possibility on flat land lol
Would mainly shoot .22, 5.56, and maybe some 9mm.
Since in Virginia you cant hunt deer with 556, and shooting 308 is too expensive (rifle and ammo) for me. Instead, for home defense, shtf, and hunting small game I was thinking of getting the kel-tec sub2000 gen 3. The issue is from what I've heard the pivoting barrel has the optic awkwardly hanging on the side. For gen 2 people would buy a flip sight so that the optic hangs 90 degrees. but for gen 3 would the pivot of the barrel and the 90 degree flip orient the optic to line perfectly with the gun in storage? I would like to know so I can plan out my budget and actually have a compact backpack pcc for ease of transportation. Feel free to ask any questions and critique anything I say I'm not in a hurry to buy this (also if I were to buy a scope for hunting small game how much magnification is practical for 9mm)

Been watching these since they hit the market and decided to pull the trigger on it the other night. Very few videos or reviews out there on it and wondering what anyone else's experience with these have been. It's going to be living in a 300blk suppressed build.
What is the indented use? Just for coolness. What are you hunting? Nothing particular. What prices point you’re looking at? $500 below. Do you own any firearms? Yes, I got 5 so I’m not new or need training. Looking for a used gun? No. Have you tried google? Yes, but hard to find. What state are you in? California.
Had a long week and headed to Cabela’s after my shift to buy a hunting rifle. They made me fill the ATF Form 4473 on an iPad. I somehow got a question wrong, no idea if I fat fingered or didn’t read correctly. They obviously told me I couldn’t get the gun, but they offered me no guidance on what’s next.
I’m assuming that the form wasn’t sent out to the FBI, so not too worried about having agents knock at my door (am I wrong?).
I’m just wondering how long am I banned from buying from Cabela’s/Bass pro. They didn’t know themselves. Unfortunately I live in an area where Cabela’s is the only nearby gun store selling hunting guns.
I'm currently looking around for a self defense pistol, and I'm wondering if whether someone can still be a threat to me after 20 22lr to the middle body mass?

I’m from WV and I am looking to buy a firearm. I go to gun ranges with my parents and friends but have never owned one.
I want to buy my own. When I was 18 I started seeing a therapist for anxiety and depression. I have never been to a health ward or anything just seen a therapist and I got post partum depression with my child l. I was also attacked by a dog several years ago during my pregnancy and they said I suffered ptsd but agin have never been committed to a mental institution. I know there’s a question about mental illness. I haven’t seen a therapist in years will I get denied
I have a primary arms slx compact scope and am looking for a magnifier. Does anyone know if the Vortex VMX-3T 3x would be compatible?
So, I bought two Magpul QD sling swivels as the brand seems reputable. When one is inserted into a QD point on the rear of the gun, to works fine and stays in. But when I plug one into the point at the front of the shotgun, on either side, it pops out easily.
I'm not sure if I got a bad sling swivel, or if the mount itself is too wide, so not sure how to go about fixing this. Is there a "extra wide" sling swivel I can buy, lol?
So ive had a rifle scope on a break barrel air rifle for a month now and have shot atleast 300 shots thru it and litterly just found out that you should never put a rifle scope on a breakbarrel air rifle due to the double recoil. My QUESTION here is, is my scope deffenetly broken and im cooked or is 300 not that many shots to break the scope?

This and hundreds of other newfound quotes are sourced at cprba.org, along with detailed information about the nonsensical ban on possession by marijuana users which mostly harms minorities...could this break through in a meaningful way and be the beginning of the end for the extremist gun control agenda? Please check out the site and discuss in the comments!
Is there a bolt action rifle that can accept both cartridges? I realize the barrel requirements will be different, is there a model that you could easily swap between barrels like you can on an AR upper?
Ideally with threaded barrel options for suppression.

Waiting on the 2nd stamp but in the meantime I need a wml.
Got this today. 1400.00 w/509t. Good deal or nah?
Earlier today I went to my local gun shop to pick up my FFL transfer, when they ran my background check I was sent a denial. (Sent in an appeal) I have purchased many guns in the past and most recently purchased and was approved to buy a suppressor. I have not got into any legal issues whatsoever since my last purchase. Am I over thinking this? The person before me in line was also denied and seemed to be just as confused. What could possibly be the reasons for this?
